Is a brand new 84-87 gearbox better then a brand new 68-72 gearbox?

No it wasnt brand new. Got it from a local junk yard. I put it in the parts washer and then painted it to look nice.

Yes the 84-87 gearbox has much tighter ratio than the 68-72 year. At least for me..the 68-72 steering was very soft and sloppy. Now it is tight and more responsive.
